| I think this is an interesting situation where “AI” has become just a general term that it has lost so much meaning thanks to things like chatgpt. Video game AI is obviously in a different league than ChatGPT but uses the same label. Some AI is machine learning and some isn’t. I agree with a lot of what you are saying, but I think there are valid use cases of AI (before chatgpt) that is actually a benefit. You don’t use a smart phone, but auto correct is a genuinely great addition. It doesn’t remove anything the human does and improves the usability. On its own autocorrect isn’t going to write a story. Even the suggestions that have been added in recent years are more for human usability than anything else. Handwriting reading models, fall detection models, etc. I do think we need to separate generative AI that replaces humans from traditional AI that offers assistance. I know someone is going to argue, well chatgpt is augmenting me by checking my code, emails, etc. and that may be true right now but we are kidding ourselves if that will be the situation long term. |
AI is just a branding buzzword by Big Tech companies....before AI, there were "machine learning" and "deep learning" buzzwords widely used. "Blockchain" and "SaaS" are also some of the most infamous buzzwords.
